Abstract: FDG PET is a valuable tool in the case of suspected recurrence of cervical cancer on account of its impact on treatment planning and especially in predicting patient outcome.

“…These findings corresponded well with those reported by earlier studies in other solid tumors such as colorectal carcinomas and ovarian cancers (Heriot et al 1999;Bipat et al 2004;Kantorová et al 2003;Nam et al 2010). Pallardy et al (2010) also found that PET findings with B1 focus detected in women who were suspected of having cervical cancer recurrence had better OS than those with PET findings with 2 foci (p = 0.043) or with PET findings with 3-5 foci (p = 0.007). Chung et al (2010b) showed that the preoperative SUVmax in the primary tumor on PET/CT was the most powerful significant prognostic factor to predict recurrence in stage IB to IIA cervical cancer.…”

“…PET/CT is better than conventional cross-sectional imaging with CT or MRI and has shown to significantly impact clinical management and alter treatment strategies. [12] There are no set guidelines for the treatment of isolated para-aortic recurrence and studies have shown conflicting results with respect to the benefit of chemoradiotherapy vs radiotherapy alone in this setting. [3,9] Our case thus highlights the importance of long-term followup of patients with treated cervical cancer, which as shown can recur after prolonged disease-free intervals, thereby confounding clinicoradiological interpretation.…”
